The magazine in its beginnings was aimed at women of high class, addressing them in a friendly manner and serving as a guide to help them keep up with the trends infashion,culture,arts,health andbeauty. To guarantee its market success, the magazine is edited locally in some cases, blending national preferences with international trends and always following its traditionally classical style.

The main headquarters ofVanidades are now located inMexico. However, localized editions are released simultaneously in Argentina,Chile, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, the United States,Puerto Rico and theDominican Republic.

Vanidades magazine stopped circulating inColombia,Peru,Ecuador, Chile and Argentina due to the closure of Editorial Televisa in those countries between January and February 2019. It was also distributed in Venezuela through the Bloque Dearmas, but it stopped being published due to thesocioeconomic crisis in that country.
